[TriLUG] SAMBA 3.0.2 shares storing installation software

[Roy Vestal]

Actually, I just fixed my problem.  Heh, pulled a Homer, "DOH!"

Anyway, the *correct* option is "case sensitivity = no" not "mangle case =
yes". I removed "mangle case = yes" and replaced it with "case sensitivity =
no" on each share and it's working correctly.

[JR>] since there are fundamental differences between file formats for linux
and winders, try storing installation files in *.iso format.
